Chelsea supporters are getting excited about the prospect of signing Brighton and Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk.
The Blues have struggled defensively this season and head coach Frank Lampard appears to be on the market for reinforcements amid links to Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly.
But could the west London outfit move for Dunk instead?
Well, Brighton chief Tony Bloom has already suggested there could be movement in terms of central defenders during the summer transfer window.
"I’m not going to speculate on whether we may or may not get offers for many of our players," Bloom told the Athletic.
"We certainly do have an abundance of centre-backs and there are constant discussions between myself and Graham and Dan (Ashworth, technical director) and the recruitment team about what our needs are, what’s going to be happening.
"There will be some players who go out on loan at some point during pre-season or the first few weeks of the season.
"There are lots of things to make decisions on, but it’s a really good thing that we’ve got some very good players in our squad, not all of whom will be in our squad come the end of the transfer window."
It's unclear as to where the Dunk to Chelsea transfer chatter started, but a number of Blues supporters are on board with such a deal.
Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
Lampard has already admitted his side must improve their defensive record in order to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City next season.
"The numbers do not lie. We are trying to play a certain way. I know that teams who are now at the top of the game, Liverpool and Manchester City, have been through similar periods - I am not saying we will get to their level - in the early stages when their manager was at the club of conceding too much," he said.
“It is a work in progress for me. I can’t shelve it in another direction, we have to work defensively as a group."
